    also why the fuck does Lego Fortnite require anticheat? it’s a survival co-op, there’s no competitive element, and yet from what I’ve read it still kicks you out when you’re trying to play it on Linux.

      Even though it’s cooperative, can randos still join your game and grief you? I wouldn’t want to deal with a cheat engine enabled griefer.

        no, only your friends can join you, and you have the option to kick them out from your party before they actually enter the game.

              What is HGL?

              Is that like Fitgirl? Empress/Codex?

                Heroic Games Launcher. Let’s you download/manage/launch games from Epic, GoG, Amazon, etc. without having first-party launchers installed.
